mud guards?
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 6:21 pmwas wondering if any other models (civic coupe/sedan or integra) mud guards would work on a hatch? or with minor modification to them, thanks for your time.

You hit water and it gets caught in the wheel wells. Mud guards exacerbate the problem. You've never driven fast through water?

Or aerodynamics. Just looks.
Aerodynamics have more bearing on maximum speed than horsepower. But who cares about going fast?
Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2008 4:38 am....really? ... I can now vouch for the water and mudflaps... it just rained here in mission viejo.... I saw a giant puddle and decided... lets test the mudflaps... Now I wouldnt say it was like braking instantly... but i did feel my civic quickly slow down forcefully kinda.. thing... O.o.. i still like my mudflaps tho

Lol, I seriously doubt that mud guards are really going to affect maximum speed an aerodynamics that much (no more than 1 mph MAX if that)... I mean we are talking about mud guards not triple decker wings or bubble nosed hood scoops etc..

I agree
